I have never been an advocate of the seniority system and never will. I would rather advance by my contributions and performance rather than time in service.
Is FLOPS hiring?
You haven't been flying for a union carrier very long so you haven't seen much! I also assume you haven't seen mgmt trying to pressure pilots to do the wrong thing, correct? Go corporate if you don't like it. It's here to stay in the airline world.
